Fede Álvarez's surprisingly sturdy Evil Dead reboot boasts a cheeky round of wordplay hidden within the names of its five central characters.

If you take the first letter from each of the leads - David (Shiloh Fernandez), Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci), Mia (Jane Levy), Olivia (Jessica Lucas), and Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) - the word "demon" is spelled out.

Given that the movie is of course focused on the teens inadvertently summoning a terrifying demon to their cabin hideaway, it seems as though their future was quite literally spelled out long before they ever decided to read from the Necronomicon.
